Level With Me
what a shitty map
Strange set of maps. Only 1 that involved any thinking. The rest was like WTF. It reminded me of the old movie "A clockwork Orange". Most of it is a waste of time.
This is not Portal style. Keep trying.

We should be fair to you - this does have one EXCELLENT room in it, which is the final part of the first Map - the Meat Pack. That was a really great puzzle IMO.
I agree with everyone else on the other maps (those before that one), unfortunately - just way too simplistic.
But that one magical room included made it worth it to me. I loved the way that cube was locked into the cylinder and the overall Disney-like appearance of the room itself. It was sort of like a high-tech Rapunzel's Tower. The garish Yellows and Oranges somehow fit that room.
Bottom line, I would highly recommend this to anyone but would also recommend they skip through to that one room. To be honest, I have not yet played the rest as I got stuck in the next room for MeathPack_LWN. It has some odd way of getting through the door that is not apparent to me. The sign on the wal clearly says to "Press" the button to "Open" the door - but the button Press does not such thing.
@lifeson99- I would not recommend playing something that you have not completed yourself.
That single map I agree is the only one worth playing. The rest after that suck. To open the door you need to drop the open door sign into the computer screen image.
I started playing this when first released and finally got the guys to allow quick saves as I had given up on the meatpack map that is actually a great challenge.I should try it again now that quick save is allowed.I'd like to see a video of that one map thou as I never did figure it out before I gave up
benvent; you're probably. . . you're probably right. I was trying to recommend the one complex puzzle, and since the reviews were so bad I did not want to finish the rest. I just didn't want people thinking the whole things was bad since it has that one bright spot.
Anyway I finished the rest - several consecutive, identical rooms where you press a button and then exit through the door, followed by a fake room . . . why on earth create that ?
Seems to be a waste of time for the player.
It would have been best to release the one good map as a standalone and delete the rest.
A question: must every Portal 2 map have difficult puzzles in them?
The last chamber of Chapter 1 is intended to show that, yes, it's fully within my capability to design something difficult, and I chose not to do so for most of the mod. Is that a valid way to design? And if not, why not?
Answer: No, Every Portal 2 map does not have to have difficult puzzles. But, it must have puzzles. Everyone knows how to press a button and walk through a door. No challenge = no fun.
